Slab has the right idea !

I have a confession to make. Many times I find myself wanting to say more than I do on certain topics but am restrained from doing so because of two things. One, peace is blessed, and two, Slab has control of a delete button and is not afraid to use it. Seriously, if you want to see the wisdom in that last sentence, look no further than this debacle on another forum:
https://www.walleyecentral.com/forum...d.php?t=709668
After reading that I came away with thankful feelings about living in the South where I can fish year round, my governor having some semblance of wisdom, and a fishing site ( C.com ) for the most part devoid of rancor. Yes, we all have opinions and sometimes want to say more than we should, but it is a real blessing to not have the viciousness seen elsewhere.
Thank you Slab

“Guest” makes a lot of sense. Maybe he’ll join CDC.

Agreed !

That was an interesting read that went much further than it ever had to. It was some pretty bad trolling. The mods definitely were letting things go - keep it civil - agree to disagree when necessary.

Thanks USMA for your kind words. Yes, we may be overly sensitive to some things here, but we have been doing this a while now. As I often say, all we're trying to do is keep the peace. If anyone wants to talk about all that controversial stuff, there are plenty of other places on the Internet to do so. It's nice to have our little safe haven here on crappie.com. Our little escape from all the garbage! ...Another thing I always say is, "Why make enemies when you can make friends instead". Another yet another thing I always say is "It's all G's fault"! "G", the other mods and supermods, and all are members are what make crappie.com what it is today. Thank you all for your participation, and your understanding.

And on another note, anyone notice all those ads on the walleye site. Gee, thank goodness we don't do that here, that's an awfully lot of noise.

People keep yammering on about some corona beer virus and codependent-19 and how the CDC has all sorts of information, but I can't find any info on here about either one. :mad:

I stopped at page 2, thankful for the MODS on this site. :ThumbsUp

Well, I read through the entire thread. I had to come back here for a breath of fresh air!

This has to the best website online. Last week my daughter and grand kids were over for a visit. I had been reading some of the old funny post so I went back to one I wanted her to read. Went I handed her my computer my 9 year old twin grandsons started to look. She covered the screen, I ask why her answer was “you never know what might be on here”. She was totally surprised when I explained that C.com is totally family oriented and that the boys could read the post. As they all 3 read the post there was a lot of laughter. Thanks to SLAB and the other mods for keeping it this way.

We've had plenty of "interesting" threads here at CDC. They're still available -- if you know where to look. ;)

Through the magic of the search function, I just went back and read a couple. Hee -- larious!

I didn’t read it at all, didn’t have to. I knew what to expect. Two words I take very seriously are friends and family. We all have many buddies but few true friends. I don’t think I have to explain how important I think the word family is. They will always have your back, regardless. I have many friends here, some I have never and may never meet, but we are likeminded and no explanation is needed. After 12 plus years I consider this to be my second family. They have proved it many times, not knowing that they did. I’m proud to call them that and I tell others that as well.

I was told when I was a much more hardheaded individual than I am now and in my early twenties, that if I finished this life with enough true friends to fill one hand that I would be a fortunate man. Thankfully, I’m still here, and I can say that some of those friends came from here on CDC. I’ve been on other sites and been bashed for having an opinion different to someone else. Some from nationally famous celebrities of our sport, that being fishing in general, don’t even visit the site bearing their name because of all the hate and discontent. That alone spoke more to me than anything else. We can all say thanks to slab and the moderators for the way this has been and is handled. I’ll climb down off my soap box now. I post a lot and have been deleted some myself. I’m just an outside the box kinda guy, but I try to behave and the fellas keep me in line when I don’t. That’s what friends do. I get a little wound up some, thanks for bearing with me.

"outside the box kinda guy" dang that is an understatement! doh.....just kidding Timbo....yet another thing I always say is "everybody funny", from the "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" Thorogood song. And yep, "everybody funny". Everyone is different, and that what makes the world go around. Glad to call you my friend Skeet. And yep, just remember: "Family, Friends, Fishing and Fun" the official slogan of Crappie.com. The funny thing is, it's been copied by other organizations, and I take that as a compliment. But just like every jig in the world, someone else prolly thought of it first anywho. :cheers2

I’ve never caught a walleye. If that thread represents what it’s about, I want no parts of it. I’m not knocking opening days or individual pursuits but I much more appreciate the finer, laidback, enjoyable days on the water, lifestyle.

I do not post much as I mostly bass fish and don't have much to add. But I would like to add my 2 cents on this thread. This is a nice site and I enjoy my "reprieve" almost nightly. It's a simple pleasure that reminds me simple pleasures are great.

I don't care for folks that watch talking heads on cable TV telling how to think and dislike , even more, the way people believe they need to tell me about it. You simply don't get that here and that's a good thing.

Even though I don't crappie fish much, I do learn a lot about fishing here and the camaraderie expressed when a member is going through rough times is exceptional.

I'm glad we are all different. If we were all the same we'd be a sad bunch.

I'm happy with the way crappie.com rolls, real happy.

I always thought it was a knockoff of the big McDonald's ad campaign in the 1990s where their slogan was "Food, Folks, and Fun" rotfl

I think your screen name should have been a Ronald McDonald knockoff, maybe Ronald McCrappie?

You are a man who definitely does his homework and is good at alibis.
I'd just blame it on Slab!!!

This being only my 6th post, I’m just barely here but I’m enjoying the heck outa this place! The civility here is like a breath of fresh air and more and more, civility is becoming difficult to find on the internet.

I read all of it, not much wit on either side and wasn't really entertaining. I do like vertical jigging for walleye and they be superb eatin!

Drifting for Walleye, with Earie Dearies tipped with worms, on Lake Earie, that was cool. Back in the day when they did that. Wasn't easy either. You had to feel the bite. Some would catch, some would not cause they did not have the feel. I remember it now. Have to look for a pic of our catch fishing with Tomtom. Those were the days.

I love this place because I can be as silly as I want and post some really silly fish stories to entertain others and not have to deal with the keyboard commandos that want to take the joy away I get from having a good time telling fishee stories .
Why this earth has so many unhappy people is a good question and when did it become alright to be so ugly for no apparent reason to other people is way past my understanding of why I was put on this earth .
Crappie.com is a real heaven on earth for a fishing forum and the moderation and owner have it going on BIG time when it comes to making it a place i want to hang around in for sure . :highfive
I would much rather see something deleted that wasn't so nice than to read it daily when I visit .
KABOOM is the word yawl

Yep Ketch, I hate to admit it, but I've been spending more time on fakebook lately. Not that I want to, but to remove the garbage on the crappie.com group there. Regretfully in this day and age, we have to have a presence there. We try to direct them here. But it's unreal, people there think they can say anything. And then they get upset when you delete something. It's essentially made people way too bold, and encourages them not to be civil. Seem like their motto is, throw it out there, stir the pot, and let it be someone else's problem. Sad. If you would not say something in person to someone else, don't post it.

Crappie.com has no competition when it comes to family friendly content, great members and even better moderators and owner!
Thanks Ed!!

Yep, Fishing the Bay of Quinte every May with my old Man, Grandpa and most of my uncles! Jigs and leeches! Always amazed the locals fished out of 14 foot Lund boats with 10 hp hurricane motors, no matter how bad the weather!
